1. For the present study area, Survey of India (SOI) toposheet Nos.84A/14
and 84A/15 on 1:50,000 scale has been used for delineating the watershed
boundary.
2. Cartosat Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data of 30meter spatial resolution
for generating various stream features, preparation of thematic layers such as
aspect map, slope map and relief map.
3. IRS LISS III Multispectral Satellite imagery (February, 2016) downloaded
from Bhuban portal is used for preparing land use and land cover (LULC) map.
A. Linear Parameters
B. Textural Parameters
C. Geometric Parameters and
D. Relief Parameters
Linear Parameters:
For the morphometric analysis of study area, the linear
aspects such as stream number, Stream order (Nu), Stream length
(Lu), Mean stream length (Lsm), Stream length ratio (RL) Bifurcation
ratio (Rb), and rho coefficient were determined.
